Bane drifted through the water at a liesurely pace, relaxing in the warm water of the surface of the ocean, the sun washing over his pure black, almost pearlescent back skin and deep dark royal blue dorsal plates, the ocean itself carved in two by his massive, spiked form.not far behind was the white research vessel named the HEAT Seeker. a small machine was put into the water on the side of the vessel, and it quickly powered up and accelerated ahead, heading for the massive beast, descending to the depths to get a better view of the creature and to complete the tasks assigned to it...
"what the...?" started Craven, looking through the screen of his Palmtop PC. "ehhh, wussup doc?" said Randy in his best imitation of Bugs Bunny. "See for yourself" said Craven, showing him his Palmtop, which was showing a screen blurred by static interference. "Have Nigel get away from Bane and then scan" suggested Nick, who was now looking over Craven's shoulder at the Palmtop. Craven groaned, saying "I'll try", and started tapping commands on the tiny keyboard. the interference stopped and Banes massive black and grey form appeared, the familiar red striped splitting the spiked part of his skin from the rest showing clearly. the screen turned green and the top showed the words "Vital sign scan". after a bright yellow bar swept across Bane's now plain black form, revealing a network of veins and arteries that pulsed bright red in tune with his beating heart. next to the "Vital sign Scan" title at the top, came the words "Abnormally fast". the screen then turned blue, and the title was replaced with a new one, in yellow and black writing, saying "Radiation levels". first, the word Nuclear appeared next to it, and the black sillhouette of Bane turned bright yellow. "Abnormally High". the word Nuclear was replaced with Atomic. "Extremely High" came up next to the word Atomic, glowing red, before being replaced with a red dash, indicating that it had gone out of the scanner's energy range. the screen blacked out, and the group went to the deck, thinking that perhaps the energy was weakening the Palmtop's signal with Nigel. just as they reached the bow and looked at where Nigel was, a small explosion forced a small portion of water up, a minor shockwave coming from the place Nigel had been. small bits of yellow debris were next to be shown. it seemed the energy had caused Nigel to overload. "Woah...talk about Spontanious Combustion!" said Randy, awed by the scene. the thought that Bane had made something explode without even doing anything made him stare in amazement and awe...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
